The realm is a massive cartesian system and all objects reside
at some point on this plane. Certain regions of
the playing grid have different names. In general, this is only
to give the player some idea of his/her present location. Some
special places do exist.

- The realm is broken up in circles, each one with an increasing radius of 125
from the origin. For example, if you're standing on (0, 200), you are said to be
in circle 2. This distinction is made because a monster's size is equal to the
circle it was encountered in.

- These are located at certain coordinates. In order to find a post, take
any number and multiply it to itself, then multiply it by 100. A post will
be at that coordinate number. For example: 1*1*100 = 100, so a post is at
(+/- 100, +/- 100). 2*2*100 = 400, so another post is at (+/- 400, +/- 400).
Then there are posts at 900, 1600, 2500 ... Trading
posts sell equipment for large quantities of
gems and
gold. Farther out posts have more things for
sale. Be careful about cheating the merchants, as they have short
tempers. Merchants are dishonest about 2% of the time.

- This is located at the origin (0,0). Players with staves and crowns may enter, possibly after a bloody coup.

Point of No Return

- This is a large square around the origin. Any time one of your coordinates
is equal or greater than 1,000,000, you are beyond this point of no return. The
only way to return is via Gwaihir.

Dead Marshes

- This is a band located fairly distant from the origin. The first
sixteen monsters (water monsters) can
normally only be found here and movement slows to a crawl. Teleportation
spells do not work for locations inside the Marshes.

Plateau of Gorgoroth

- This is surrounded by the Dead Marshes and cannot be reached by teleport.
The monsters here are extremely tough and improve as the player improves.
Players are warned not to spend too much time in here unless they enjoy a
significant risk of death! However, the post in the Plateau is the only post
in the game that sells blessings....

Cracks of Doom

- This is surrounded by the Plateau of Gorgoroth and cannot be reached by
teleport. The monsters here are even tougher than on the Plateau and
improve as the player improves. Players are warned not to spend too
much time in here unless they enjoy a significant risk of death!
However, the Cracks are the only place in the Realm where
Rings of Power can be destroyed, a feat
necessary to receive a crown.

The Edge of the World

- It is rumored to be out there somewhere, but no one is known to have
returned after seeing it.

Game Changes

5.0.0 - 1/23/16

--------------------------------

After complications with the p4.com domain, I have decided to update the versioning to start fresh. Welcome to the retitled Phantasia5. It is still identical to the P4 you loved. Any super huge changes will be done to the now redubbed Phantasia5. Have fun in the realm. phantasia4.net / phantasia4.org will still always work for this version so do not fret.

4.08.0 - 6/23/13

--------------------------------

Added a simple experience counter to the end of the fight monster process. "You have earned * experience from this encounter"

Added a new difficulty setting for monsters of every level. Each level of monster even starting at size 0, has subclasses that may provide additional difficulty when fighting them, those classes are: Regular, King, Wizard, Master, and Elite. The more difficult the subclass is, the more exp it gives, health, speed, brains, strength it will also have...venture carefully.

4.07.8 - 2/21/13

--------------------------------

After the constant complaining *Cough*, Nerin" *cough cough* about an "oversight" in the P4 code allowing any user to teleport at any level (might just be with his custom client) I think it should be fixed now. I added a little code into the game, to tell if HEY if this person is NOT the level to teleport, and if THEY do not have the required magic level, then there shalt not be a teleport button. I can only ask that people will test, if they get glitches, tell me and I will look further into it

4.07.7 - 12/22/12

--------------------------------

Decided to add more Tolkien-esk stuff to Phantasia4 (I mean its based on it for crying outloud). Modified Smeagol, whereas if your sin is equal or over 1.5 his name
will be Gollum, also added some "Smeagol/Gollum" dialogue to the game...check them out
